Koussath's Dynasty is descended from the son of a Goddess, who is himself a God. The Koussathian religion, really does believe this. Reian is a provably historical figure, Ileania mostly so, and the Yelash Dynasty is unbroken descent from Reian. The only question at had is if Reian became a god. Of course, as an IRL athiest, I say he didn't because no gods exist. they certainly aren't going to affect events in Alterra. |

Ok, I'm going to wait a while whilst I think this through... I've seen some quite good points there, so I need some time to filter it all done and make a choice... |

This will probably sound desperate, but trust me I would have tried to clarify Demoness' doubts over Leraq even if there was nothing at stake:
I know one of the strong arguments for me being in the G8 was my power from my warhead armoury. It appears Demoness' will not recognise the size and power of a nations' nuclear arsenal until the war commitee does. Phew, then I rest assured. Deschaine, who is, in my opinion, the authority on who has what in their nation's military has ranked my WMD armoury and recognised it. Here Out of all the nations he has reviewed up to today mine is the most powerful WMD armoury. As for the crisis: I don't see why this would have any bearing on my position as a power? Am I missing something? If you think it unrealistic you could have told me a couple of months ago, as I asked? If you only just realised your position on it then I would be happy to enter discussion via PM to get it to work out... I know the crisis was a bit of a blip, but I don't see why a short term problem, that is now completely finished should have a long term effect on the position my nation commands... In RL Italy is on the G8 and they are always having many short term crises (often a LOT worse than mine), Mafia troubles, corruption problems, protests... in the past its been really bad. It hasn't barred them membership from the G8 and I think it should be the same in my case... Why do I think I should be in the G8? Well I have a few reasons: I am the main advocate of free trade in Alterra, the founding member of the AFTA I have a very strong economy I have the most powerful warhead arsenal in the world I have a strong global position with many important alliances, including a position of importance in the old UHAA I am an important nation is scientific research: I have bases on the moon Rhea, Antiborea and on a Boreal Isle. My scientists were some of the masterminds behind the success of the engineering projects in KITT and my designers are leaders in arms manufacture for Hesperian troops. I am a leader in innovation: Leraq developed the first super computer I continue to change Alterra for the better, running many projects like the Alterran Games OOCly I come on a lot and post a lot, so I will be an active member of this alliance if I am chosen...

Added: I think that OOC should be taken into account on a close call between two nations in membership; for example a frequent poster would actually offer input into the summit, also the frequency of visits is important, we would need all members of the summits to be dedicated and there for every deicision...

Hi guys, As promised I am going to give my final decision: but I will leave the comments open over the European night just to see if there are any major objections to this ruling. Please do leave any feedback to the choice, it can be positive as well (amazingly )!I am going to try to explain any changes from the last line up and justify every choice made this far: I'll start with the G8: I left nine on the potential G8 last night Artfulia Demoness ELE Greater Laddneia Leraq Neolantia Slostia Taeunus Xosaia I would just like to sort out a couple of complaints: Xosaia: They do have a weak economy, but should be included on account of their importance in global innovation and science. They will be able to voice any concerns for research funding, inform the summit of breakthroughs and requirements the sector has. I will chose to keep them on the 8. Demoness: Having been listed as an original member of the summit, they will now be dropped. Upon further examination it was deemed their economy to weak, and their assets not enough to compensate for it. Yes they have excpetional OOC presence and power, but OOC does not cut it with the best. They will retain a position on the 15, as they hold an important position as the power of Xia. Orchyre: Due to their lack of activity they have been dropped from the list. In such a small summit we cannot afford a wasted place. They, too, will be on the 15 due to their incredible importance in international history. Leraq: There seems to be a bit of a resentment against Leraq's joining (maybe a lack of OOC time on the forum, or his argumentive style getting on people's nerves ) I have taken this into account and was considering dropping them. But on thought Leraq really is just as important as some other members. Take Artfulia for example; they have a sound economy, but its nothing special, nor do they have any outstanidng acheivments in the finance or military world, both in their factbook or in forums. Leraq, on the other hand, has leading innovative businesses (like that computer company that made the first super computer). Also he is the main advocate of free trade. He was the founding member of the AFTA. Moreover he is the leading WMD power of the world, even Deschaine recognises this ... Frankly I couldn't care less about his crisis. I reckon that was more an OOC publicity stunt than an actual attempt to show the world whats his nation was like ICly.He's in. Taeunas: I didn't expect the controversy over this choice that I got! They have the most powerful army in the world, and a sound economy and stable government. They should be able to bring a fair ammount to the summit, including a lot of information about advances in the area of defence. Slostia: Agreed they will be a good all round choice, so they're in. So to wrap up my choice is: Slostia Neolantia ELE Artfulia Leraq Laddneia Xosaia Taeunas G15: Vantel Artfulia Demoness ELE Emerald Greater Laddneia Leraq Morattica Neolantia Slostia Taeunus Xosaia Githa Stefannica Orchyre So tell we what you think! Remember I may still take your opinion into account, if its on mass; and would love some positive feedback for a change... |

Looks good, makes more sense, and an overall better list. Good job.

How does one establish that Taeunas has the most powerful army? The nat'l rankings are supposed to decide that, aren't they? And Koussath has strong army numbers in that metric as well (including 25/25 infantry) Again, I don't want Koussath in a G group, but by what metric have people decided he has the most powerful army? |

Forgive my need for precision, but Xosaia's economy isn't weak, it's just not uber. |
